Don West greeted everyone at the gate that had field level seating and the Sting VIP package. Don West gave an itinerary of what was about to take place that evening. He stated how there would be plenty of things going on with various superstars signing autographs and taking pictures. He also sold TNA programs mentioning how it was the most important thing to have at the event and announced his famous Brown Bag Special for the night which consisted of a limited edition Sting t-shirt, that he said was only going to be sold at the Memphis show, four dvds and a TNA bag for twenty dollars.
TNA Stars Cookie, Robbie E, Tommy Dreamer, Winter, Matt Morgan, AJ Styles and Eric Young came out of the tunnel to sign autographs on the field.
The rain came down, causing a slight delay. Cool thing about this was everytime lightning would strike, the crowd would go "Woooooo!"
Jeremy Borash along with Rockey the Redbird welcomed everyone to the show.
Opening Match-Eric Young w/ Rockey the Redbird defeated Robbie E w/ Cookie-Hilarious moment during this one as techno music started playing with Robbie E busting out the fist pump and dancing with Cookie. Then, the referee jumped in, grinding on Cookie in the corner while Robbie E was backing it up on Rockey the Redbird, whom he thought was still Cookie. Funny stuff!

Tag Team Action
Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle & “The Blueprint” Matt Morgan defeated “King of the Mountain” Jeff Jarrett & “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner-Angle made Jarrett tap out with the ankle lock. Didn't think Steiner was going to make it to the ring he was getting so much heat, flipping everyone the bird.
Main Event-World Heavyweight Championship Match
“The Icon” Sting defeated Mr. Anderson-After the match, it was announced that fans would get the incredible opportunity to meet and take a picture with "The Icon" Sting for twenty bucks.
